Looks great! Now I gotta go home and block sand!

**67cheby** · 03-15-2012, 09:49 AM

Great looking project !

**rob32472** · 08-26-2012, 05:23 PM

Been awhile so time for an update. Been working on wiring, installing fat mat, vintage air, and the lsx power plant. I hope to have everything finished and be ready for final paint in a month...... hope to be complete by christmas.

**67cheby** · 08-26-2012, 06:59 PM

How about some info on those hinges?

**rob32472** · 08-26-2012, 10:11 PM

The hinges are porter built.... They were easy to install and look great. They do limit the amount the hood opens over stock however...

Was unable to get her done by Christmas, work has been soooo crazy that I have not had time to work on her much. I have everything sorted out with the truck and she runs great! I have decided to install power windows, I received my Nurics Kit from American Pastimes Last week. Took the truck out of the garage for some exhaust work today. I am using dyna max VT mufflers, they are suppose to give less drone at low RPM but sound great at WOT..

we will see. Snapped a few pics today before loading her up.

gdavis · 04-10-2013, 07:45 PM

you are doing a bang of a job

**rob32472** · 06-16-2013, 08:31 AM

Update: Paint and assembly are done! I am pleased with how it turned out, a few places to address after the interior is completed. I will get some better pics when I get her home.

**rob32472** · 06-16-2013, 08:32 AM

one more. Let me know what ya think....

Rodzzilla · 06-16-2013, 10:25 AM

It looks great!

1lo67 · 06-16-2013, 11:53 AM

Look great.. the repop sheet metal looks like it fit together real nice as well. love the black paint.

Low Elco · 06-17-2013, 08:21 AM

Finished out beautiful! Nice work!

chevy88 · 06-17-2013, 08:34 AM

Ride height / wheels look great together, and grill inserts with the black paint. I also did the black bowtie in front, I think it looks alot better than the red or blue option.

c10Dream'n · 06-17-2013, 10:07 AM

oh man that is looking beautiful.

**rob32472** · 06-18-2013, 06:40 AM

I appreciate the good comments guys.. there are always a few things you think you should have done different but I am very happy with the way this one came together.

**rob32472** · 09-04-2013, 09:02 PM

Took some pics when I picked up the truck at the interior shop. I am really happy with the way it turned out. Went to alignment shope today snapped a couple outside while waiting. Only a few bugs to work out and she will be 100%

Rodzzilla · 09-04-2013, 09:11 PM

Very Nice! I really like the door panels.

**rob32472** · 09-04-2013, 09:13 PM

Thanks! I think they really fit the over all theme of the truck.

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 09-04-2013, 09:19 PM

Do you mind sharing what kind of seats those are? I think they fit the truck extremely nice. Are they late model factory ones you customized? Either way look awesome.

**rob32472** · 09-04-2013, 09:21 PM

They are factory buddy buckets just added some cup holders to the back of the center seat the covers were all custom by the interior shop.
